Alia
born: 1996
attempted murder: 28 November 2015
Residence: Ahlhorn near Oldenburg
Origin: Iraq
Children: unclear
Perpetrator: her husband Abdul (21 years)
Alia and Abdul will come to Germany as refugees from Iraq in October 2015. They pretend to be brother and sister. In reality, they have probably been forcibly married for 2 years.

Abdul lives in a refugee house, Alia with a sister in Ahlhorn. On 28 November 2015, Abdul chases his wife on the street. She tries to save herself in a house entrance. He stabbed her 11 times with a knife.

The fire brigade finds the seriously injured woman at the entrance to the house. Alia comes to the hospital and stays in the intensive care unit for months. The perpetrator flees by car, but is arrested the next day in Bremen.

In March 2016, an indictment will be filed for attempted murder and the infliction of serious bodily harm. The trial will start in May at the Court of Oldenburg. Alia is still not approachable and is represented by a lawyer. It turns out that she wanted to break with the forced marriage. Abdul was particularly concerned about the fact that he was sent back to Iraq for the crime, according to his mobile phone reports.

The sentence is 9 years and 6 months imprisonment. He appealed against it. In December 2016, the verdict is confirmed by the Federal Supreme Court.

The real names of victims and perpetrators are not known. We're happy with some clues!
